No excuse for what they have done to this game. They have wasted their limited (according to you) resources on levitating player intros, trick shots, power up meters, etc., Instead of making the gameplay better for about a decade. They have actually made the skating far worse since NHL 14, doesn't take a large team to not make things worse.
The skating was less realistic in NHL 14. Moving laterally had your skates staying on the ice. Which is physically impossible. NHL 14 also had more assistance from the game. Pucks weren't so loose. The puck was glued to your stick when taking slapshots. Passes her more on target as well. You're certainly entitled to your opinion that gameplay mechanics are less realistic now, but that really isn't the case. I'm also not saying it's a 1:1 recreation of the real-world sport. This is a video game after all.
I’m always a little confused when I hear the skating was better prior to NHL 19. I haven’t gone back and played those games since they were new, but my memories of the skating in those games are horrible. The skating now is a little too much McDavid mixed with Makar at times, but tight turns and smooth pivots were non existent if I remember correctly.
Anyways, we are out here talking about realism when they made the Michigan and between the legs dekes easier to pull off than a slap shot this year…
